ALPHA

Youth Services

The goal of the Alternative Learning Program Helping Adolescents (ALPHA) is to reduce recidivism among students through academic, behavioral, and job readiness services.  The Program also provides support for students to overcome barriers and successfully transition to self-sufficient adulthood. Students in the Program come from some of our community’s most disenfranchised youth, all of whom are on probation in Lehigh County and have either dropped out of school or have been expelled from school,

ALPHA instills in its students the value of learning while motivating them to make positive changes in their lives. This comprehensive 16-week program includes:  assessment of educational functioning levels; academic instruction; life skills and behavioral instruction; Crossroad JOBTECH job readiness instruction; Nurturing Parenting Program for Teen Parents; and HIV prevention education.  For additional information please contact .
